ADVICE

Three-Move Leg Combo For Balanced Growth

  • Do pair barbell squats with Romanian deadlifts and hip thrusts for a complete leg workout.
  • Swap exercise order or replace one movement periodically to emphasize quads or glutes and avoid stagnation.
ADVICE

Back Workout Order To Protect Your Lower Back

  • Start back sessions with deadlifts, follow with lat pulldowns or pull-ups, then finish with chest-supported or dumbbell rows.
  • Avoid heavy barbell rows right after deadlifts to protect the lumbar spine.
ADVICE

Chest Programming: King Movement First

  • Train chest with an incline barbell press, flat dumbbell press, then incline flies or cable/pec-deck for full range and stretch.
  • Prioritize a heavy compound press as the "king" movement and use the others for volume and contraction.
